Sheriff budget discussion includes proposal for $35,000 annual vehicle replacement line and Lexipol funding shifts
Summary
Sheriff Kurt Schwind discussed 2025 budget proposals including creating a $35,000-per-year vehicle replacement line, reducing the equipment line to $5,000, and reallocating Task Force funds to pay for Lexipol policy software; commissioners tabled some items for further consideration.
Sheriff Kurt Schwind outlined several proposals for the 2025 Sheriff Department budget during the Nelson County Commission meeting.
Schwind and commissioners discussed creating a new vehicle replacement line budgeted at $35,000 per year while cutting the equipment line to $5,000. Separately, the commission considered removing Task Force funding from the Sheriff’s budget and reallocating those dollars to purchase Lexipol policy software for the department. The transcript records these items as topics of discussion and indicates some were tabled for later consideration rather than adopted at the meeting.
No formal motion adopting those specific budget reallocations appears in the minutes; commissioners later returned to Sheriff budgeting across multiple segments as they reviewed department budgets for 2025.
